Is there a restriction for EAD work?
Hey everyone,
it may seem like a stupid question but I’m unsure and my research is not bringing any concrete answers.
My EAD was approved (Yaaaay! finally able to start looking at getting a job and house with my wife!).
So with this being approved am I limited to job offers?
I have seen numerous jobs that say “US citizens” of “permanent residents” yes I assume that means I need legal status. But the majority of jobs I have found in my required field are saying these.
Should I be ok applying as I have authorization to work?
any help, suggestions welcome.
(good luck to this still waiting on approvals!)
When to do service request ?
It has been 2 months since i was interviewed and told that I will have decision in 2-4 weeks. But clearly its been way more than that. Should i make online request that they look at my case ? I have attached my timeline.
When did you request them ? Did it help ?

Is AOS a possibility for me?
I came into the country on a B1/B2 visa in July 2015, filed for religion based asylum in March 2016 (was a dependent on my ex husband's case) and have been pending interview since. That marriage ended in 2020 after which my ex’s family threatened to hurt me if came back to my home country because they didn’t like the terms of the divorce. I filed an asylum case as the primary applicant based on their threat. I recently got approval for a eb2 NIW petition and awaiting my PD. Since I share custody with my ex, going back to my home country with our minor children would require getting a court order informing my ex of our destination, and dates of travel which puts me at risk because I expect him to inform his family. Additionally, one of my kids has special needs and this trip would not be beneficial to her. What are the chances of successfully arguing my eligibility for AOS based on this information? If it’s not a possibility, can I have consular processing done in a 3rd country.

I-130 approved 78 days after filing. How long for I-485? Is there a trend?
My wife (US citizen) was just notified about my I-130 approval. My I-485 says it is actively being reviewed (for a few weeks now). How long does it usually take from this point for I-485 approval? Any trends?
